A healthy body relies on a healthy, well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D supports a health immune system and helps fight challenges to it. Air pollution is a challenge as it can cause excessive immune responses: infection, cancer, auto-immune conditions. Inhaled air pollution usually settles on respiratory mucosa and influences the respiratory system. (The news is filled with talk about the respiratory system today.) Vitamin D supplementation is one strategy research proposes may boost the immune system to resist such invasion. (3) Vitamin D is reportedly advantageous to improve and keep clinical depression at bay via its homeostatic, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective roles. (4) Many from government, research and industry globally recognize that vitamin D deficiency is an extensive problem. All are working to find ways to deal with it and respond to the questions “How much vitamin D should I take a day?” and “How best do we ensure everyone gets that?” (5) Let’s talk about this at your next chiropractic appointment and set a plan to boost your vitamin D level and allow your body to ward off health-compromising problems.
